Early entry AK and HS strategy?

[kwdw]

I’m headed to AK at this week and plan to do early entry. If my goal is to not have a long wait for FOP, any clue what time I should be arriving at the park entrance? Any clue when busses start? I want to hit FOP, Navi, Safari, and Dinosaur in the morning, and then slow down. Other goals before 2pm are FOTLK and the bird show. I plan to aim for an ILL at ROTR between about 2:30 and 5, too. (Have AP so I can hop.). Any tips? I’m trying to avoid Genie+ this trip to help keep my costs down.

I don’t remember since I have only used it once, can you see your ILL return time before purchase? I’m thinking no, so wondering about buying Genie in the am but snagging stuff at HS instead. I only have until like 6 pm in the parks this day as I am heading home that day.

Advice? Anything beyond ROTR at HS is a bonus for me. I’m hoping for TS and MMRR, but won’t be upset if the lines are too long

For ILL, yes, you can select your return time.
For Genie+, if you’re quick, you might be able to get a good return time for Slinky Dog if you wanted that, otherwise, for mmrr or tsm, you may have to wait a bit for return times to get out that far. Hopefully you’ll be able to find a couple more LLs with return times for your time frame before you hop.
